关键概述-性健康的含义

什么是性健康？

举例：中间性

现实的例子是来自于有性别认同问题的男男女女的呼声压力，他们从没有这么有高度的组织性。当今，有许多“中间性(intersexes)”或“跨性者(transgendered people)”的个人和社会团体，他们不仅自我教育以提高对中间性的认识和对公众普及有关知识，而且教育医学专业人员重视有关自己的权利和权益。与此同时，他们质疑许多医学规范疗程(established medical procedures)。连同其他各种权利与权益诉求一起，这也将导致专业技术术语学的又一波修订浪潮。正是医学专业领域落后于社会实际的发展。过去，现在许多高度组织起来的中间性者曾照例被视为病人。现在，他们中的许多人扔掉了这个标签，而且拒绝扮演这个病人的角色。(另见 “中间性”.)

Critical Introduction - The Meaning of Sexual Health

What is Sexual Health?

Example: Intersexuality

A present example is the pressure being exerted by the ever better organized women and men with physical problems related to sex. For example, many intersexual individuals and groups now use the internet to educate not only themselves and the general public, but also the medical profession about their rights and interests. At the same time, they question many established medical procedures. Among other things, this will also lead to yet another revision of the professional terminology. It is an area where medicine lags behind actual developments. In the past, many of the now well-organized individuals were considered patients as a matter of course. Today, many of them reject this label and refuse to play the patient role. (See also “Intersexuality”.)
